Katie Webster - I’m Still Leaving You

“The Swamp Boogie Queen” was famed for her unmatched boogie woogie and blues piano playing, sassy, soul-drenched vocals and flamboyant stage presence. As a teenager, Katie was the in-demand pianist in Louisiana’s bayou country, appearing on hundreds of singles. Otis Redding scooped her up for his road band. Her grief over his death sent her into retirement. She began performing again the early 1980s, while in her mid-40s. Katie signed with Alligator in 1988, cutting three successful albums full of her two-fisted piano playing and her trademark blend of rocking blues, old school R&B, soul, gospel and primal rock ‘n’ roll.
